    It was just ok, nothing special to write home about, decent food and service. The drinks were the best part of the meal. There are other options in Downtown Sarasota, which have better food and service. Jack Dusty’s does have a better view!

    We love Jack Dusty and have been enjoying going there for years. We always enjoy the atmosphere, energy, scenic views and delicious food. Unfortunately, their fish dip has changed tremendously....very wet and not nearly as good as it use to be. This particular dining experience, we ordered the 3 in 1 sampler of fish dip, ceviche, and tuna tartare, all of which we live on and love....this time they were all just blah.... ceviche had zero zing and was more a tomato ceviche than seafood, the tuna tartar was very bland and the fish dip was too wet and lacked a nice smokey flavor. Redfish entree and blackberry salad were delicious.

    We’ve been regular lunch & dinner customers here for the last 8+ years. As residents of SRQ our incredible restaurant scene provides extraordinary choices of many cuisines @ many price points. Today was a huge disappointment for us and eliminated this spot as lunch for our future! We waited 18 minutes to be served water. Then our waiter who seemed to feel he had no choice but to”wait on us,” paid no attention to our order. Our appetizer hot came out with our entrees! Duh! Then I foolishly ordered the Poke bowl. Horrible!! 3 oz of tuna max!! 8 oz of 🍚 and 3 tasteless vegetables. Sad way to end a nice run 😱🤬😵‍💫

    Food was good, but I wish there were more vegetable-based appetizers. For someone who doesn’t eat fish/shellfish, there were limited appetizer options beyond salads. My husband loved his fish and I enjoyed my steak. The gluten free cake that we got fur dessert was not as tasty as what I can make at home. More gluten free desserts (not just sorbet) would be appreciated. Otherwise, they were able to accommodate gluten free dining needs well.

    Service was not level expected but not fault of waiter. He was spread trying to give service all over restaurant. Food was good overall but appetizers and tower came out at same time. As a result didn’t enjoy either. Fried whole fish was very good. We ordered white wine and it wasn’t cold. Overall B-
